TedulH5 may seem very ury To DOy
like you, but that you will be prepared
for, as it will only take two hours each
day."
Miss Meredith, - said Ralph, 81 do
not mind any thing, if l can only please
the lady, and earn some money for my
mother. It's dreadful" he added,
confidentially, ''to grow so fast and to
eat so much as do"
It wasn't the very pleasantest thing
in the world for boy who liked to play
ball and cricket and lively games to
spend two hours Il day reading Baxter $
Saints Rest and Owens Fourfold State
to blind old lady, but Ralph did it.
Mrs. Merrificld took great fancy to
him from the moment she passed her
fine wrinkled hands over his smooth
young face, and the longer he came to
her, the more pleased she was, saying
now and then to Miss Meredith:
There's good blood there, my dear
The little lad a gentleman.
She could not see him color painfully
one day when she felt his tare wrists
and OWNED the outgrown jacket, but
she had too delicate a sense of his nat
ural pride to send him the order for n
new suit of clothes, which she had re-
solved upon for his birthday present,
until fortnight later. Miss Meredith
had happened to mention the boys
birthday.
Before Mrs. Mortified sent her gift
she had a good excuse for doing So
Ralph was sitting by the window. A
pause had come in the reading. The
old lady liked to stop now and then to
consider what her favorite author had
been saying. Suddenly, with a hurried;
81 beg your pardon; [ must 60" the
boy dashed out of the room, as if he
had been stung by hornet, leaving
his patron with uplifted hands in a
state of amazement. Never had this
gentle boy behaved in so unparalleled
a manner.
A moment later he was back, bear
ing in his arms beautiful dark-eyed
child, whose little dress was stained
with mud, while her hand was bleed
ing from a sharp scratch. A Skye ter
rier brought up the rear, barking vio-
lently. and very much dcmoralized
maid came struggling after.
"Oh, grandma! grandman' cried the
little girl. 'Iwould have been ruined
ovep if this big boy had not jumped
down from the sky just in time"
Just in time parked the skye ter
rier.
"And where were you, Melusine,"
inquired the old lady, severely, of the
maid, who was ashamed to tell the
truth, which was that she had forgotten
her little charge, while gossiping with
Il tall policeman, who in his turn was
unmindfuI of his duty, and did not OBJ
serve the horses which came whirling
round the corner faster than the law
allowed.
1t was after that Mrs. Mortified sent
the order for the new suit. But think
there was greater merit in the steady
self-denial which made the boy ready
to give up two solid hours q day to UNI
congenial work, than in the sudden
impulse which sent him out to snatch
baby from peril.
He is proving himself very charm
ing man of the house, though Uncle
Ichabod still grumbles at Jemima' 5

The Minneapolis Convention.

The Knights of Labor in general con-
vention at Minneapolis have been con-
slderiug their interests from far different
staudponts than ever occupied before
The past year has wrought great changes
in the order, conspicuous among them,
the loss of nearly 800, 900 members as the
report of the Secretary shows. The ma
iority of these members lost is the radical
element of the organization. The re-
mainder is that portion of membership
which on account of unpaid dues was dis
missed from the order by the Secretary
according to rules. The loss in member
ship has, generally considered, been most
healthful change for the order, taxing
from il the element which stood in the way
of successful influence on labor matters
and problems. Had the better class OF
men remaining in the order not
become involved in other changes.
the organization would have been a
great agent in promoting the
interests of labor But from causes which
the members can best explain, the organ
izatiou already By divisions, aud probably
as a whole in the future, has become en-
gagged in political man@uvering of char
acter not best adapted to promote its in
terests. The organization of labor
party or parties is mistake in the cause
tor which it is claimed the order is en-
gagged As a labor organization ii
possessed power without inviting contest
as political organization it still possesses
power but not in so great a degree as be-
fore it invited contest. 1t has taken q
lone stand upon unknown ground and
casting aside its truest friend the republican
party has confronted its most bitter
enemy, the democratic party. This poiti
cal change in the order has been most
inopportune tor the worklng-mer
not only of the order but OF the UuiteC
States. The democratic party is in power
and is endeavoring by every means to
break down the protection afforded the
labor of the country by the protective
tariff, and through the adoption of free
trade, force American labor to compete
with the labor of the world. While the
formation OF labor party will detrac

1t will be noticed that the average number
of eggs laid per hen per year ranges from
three dozen to over seven dozen and that
those states that reported the largest number
of hens did not make the most money because,
as the figures show, they only got an average
of four or five dozen eggs per hen per year
while the New England States show an aver
age of from six to over seven dozen. The
question arises then why do hens in the New
England States average more than seven doz-
en- eggs per year per hen, when in Louisiana
they only average three dozen? The reason
must be found in the fact that in the New Eng
land States, Sheridsn's Powder to make he
lay is more universally used, while in the
West and South, it is not used much. Louis
lana has not gone behind but the Northern
States have gone ahead. There is no doubt
at all but that the extensive use of Sheridan e
Powder to Make Hens Lay, and for the i'm
provement of poultry, has boosted the poultry
industry more than all the other i. f1uences
put together. The poultry industry of this
country now amounts to between five and six
hundred millions of dollars annually and the
profits are said to be enormous. One man in
Mass. near Boston has made twenty thousand
dollars year for the last five years and many
more have made from five hundred to a
| thousand dollars, while thousands of women,
children and invalids have earned comfort

The n. Y. Sun and President
Cleveland.

The New York Sun has for some time
made Itself prominent among the papers
that criticise the President. No act or
word of his has escaped the Suns atten-
ton and comment. When the President
set out upon the Western electioneering
trip the Sun, as usual, watched every mo-
ton. On his Journey Westward he deliv-
cred two speeches which were very com
mon place, mere complimentary notices
that struck the average mind as perfect
" harmless and very safe for himself.
But the Sun sharper than most readers or
listeners found chance to accuse the
President of one of the most despicable
tricks resorted to by writers and speakers,
plagiarism. The Sun publishes in support
of this accusation the original, the text
of the American Cyclopedia (Which by
the way is work of the Suns Editor
and the portions of the Presidents speech
corresponding. The differences are very
slight and yet sufficient to give the Sun
ground for the accusation. Cleveland has
many sins of omission and commission to
answer for but it is little against good
sense to accuse him of this deed.

more from the strength of the democratic
party than from the republican party. a
multiplication OF political parties is always
to be avoided. AS politically involved
organization then the representatives OF
the Knights are compelled to consider the
interests of the order. Herein lies the
most delicate task of the convention
since the membership is divided
between two older political parties
advocating directly opposite policies.
The detects in the construction OF the Or
der have lately become so prominent that
a reconstruction has been deemed not
only advisable but necessary. This seems
of vital importance. The action taken
will determine largely whether the orga-
nization is to be restored to public conf.
dence or whether it is to degenerate fur
Their and finally pass out of existence, as
80 many labor organizations before it have
done. Mr.. Powderly's scheme tor the tor
nation of national trade assemblies will
meet with a vigorous opposition from the
trade unionists, whom it was intended to
placate. The design of the trade union
lists is believed to be, to reorganize the
Knights of Labor and make the order a
grand alliance of national trades assem-
bl1es, composed of the various crafts.
Other plans will be proposed, but should
the one adopted be even half as defective
as the present plan of construction, the
organization would quickly dissolve. This
danger is recognized and therefore care
and caution will be exercised.
Taken as whole this convention is the
most important of all. 1t marks the turn
ing point in the course OF the organiza-
ton in many ways. Either the order is
to remain economic or it is to be political.
Either it is to find permanent reconstruc-
ton or speedy dissolution. Either it is
too regain the confidence of the people or
it is to forfeit every claim to confidence.
If the convention is wise and discreet in
its action there is no reason why the or
der should not only continue to exist but
also to exert a potent influence in the
interest of labor.

theory of great electoral principle, by II.
B. Philbrook. The author IN short, tries to
prove by recourse to science and history
that electricity is God. He evidently has
centered his whole intellectual capacity upon
this great unknown though constantly
apparent force and sees in it enough to
Justify his theory. His book is an ingenious
handling of the subject and though not con-
vincing, forces thought and investigation.
